ZAGREB, 20 August, 2022 - Croatia's best shot putter Filip Mihaljevic has his European Championship gold medal back after reporting it missing following his return home from Germany, the German dpa news agency reported on Saturday.
Airport police in Munich were quoted by the dpa as saying on Saturday that "an employee of German carrier Lufthansa had found the medal and that it has been returned to Mihaljević".
"Mihaljević flew home on Wednesday and, upon his arrival there, noticed he no longer had the medal. He reported the loss and said he last had it at the airport, which led to a police search there and review of CCTV footage."
"Police did not say where the medal was eventually found, and it was also unclear whether he had lost it or whether it was stolen," the dpa said.
